Hello! I’m Dee DiGioia (di JOY uh). Welcome to the YOUniversity!

As a holistic practitioner, educator, and guide, my mission is to illuminate pathways to resonance, resilience, and radiant well-being through transformative experiences, including Sound Immersion Journeys, Facilitated Drumming Circles, Song Circles, and Mindfulness-based Nature Experiences.

These experiences nurture mental, physical, and social well-being, empowering you to thrive with mindfulness, kindfulness, and intention. As the harmonious expression of your true nature awakens, it ripples outward—positively enriching your relationships with yourself, your loved ones, and beyond (work, community, the planet). Each offering creates a welcoming, inclusive, safe, and sacred space for people of all identities, cultures, and abilities to connect, heal, and grow.

I am profoundly grateful for the experiences, resources, and master teachers on whose shoulders I stand, as well as the ongoing trainings that continue to enrich my personal journey and the journeys of those I have the honor to guide and empower on their journey through life.

Your well-being is the most important curriculum in the school of life! 

Fill Your ‘Well’ of Well-Being at The YOUniversity

Well-being is a skill, and all skills require practice!

Well-being is not just a state of being; it’s a skill that can be cultivated through consistent practice. Just like learning to play a musical instrument or mastering a new language, developing your well-being involves time, dedication, and intentionality.

Navigating and flowing through life in healthy, balanced, and positive ways requires a holistic approach that integrates various practices and teachings. By combining science, psychology, nature, and ancient wisdom, you can build a foundation for strength, resilience, health, and happiness.

The word university originates from the Latin word universitas, meaning “whole” or “entire.” This beautifully reflects the heart of Mindful Kindful YOUniversity (MK YOU). Here, we take a holistic approach to personal growth and self-care.

This holistic approach is crucial in helping you achieve balance and fulfillment in your life. By integrating these practices and principles into daily life, you can learn how to navigate life’s challenges more skillfully and transform your life into harmony with your true nature.

At MK YOU, I guide you in exploring and nurturing every aspect of your being—mind, body, and spirit—empowering you to thrive on your journey through life through mindfulness, kindfulness, and intention.

Mindful Kindful YOUniversity offers diverse and nourishing experiences to support your journey:

Sound Immersion Journeys

Facilitated Drumming Circles

Song Circles

Mindfulness-based Nature Experiences

Public and private events are offered.

Transformation: The Dragonfly and the YOUniversity

The symbolism of the dragonfly aligns beautifully with the mission of Mindful Kindful YOUniversity. The dragonfly is a powerful symbol of transformation, wisdom, adaptability, resilience, and strength. Its life begins submerged in water as a nymph, navigating obstacles and challenges before it emerges as a luminous and transcendent being. Similarly, through the work we do at the YOUniversity, we shed unskillful patterns of limiting thoughts, behaviors, and habits, growing our own “wings” to embrace a new way of living—one rooted in happiness, health, wisdom, and well-being. This transformative journey reflects our true nature and boundless potential.

In 2017, I felt a calling to step away from the relentless pace of full-time work in special education, founding Mindful Kindful YOUniversity.  LEARN MORE ABOUT Dee DiGioia
